Counting and correcting errors within unique molecular identifiers to generate absolute numbers of sequencing molecules [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs) are random oligonucleotide barcodes sequences? that are critical for the removal of PCR amplification biases within both bulk and single-cell sequencing experiments. However, the impact that PCR and sequencing errors have on the accuracy of generating absolute counts of RNA molecules is underappreciated. We demonstrate that PCR errors and not sequencing errors are the main source of inaccuracy in sequencing data and that the use of UMIs synthesized with homotrimeric nucleoside building blocks provides a solution to pinpoint and remove errors, allowing absolute counting of sequenced molecules.

Anchor-Enhanced Bead Design for Reduced Oligonucleotide Synthesis Errors in Single-cell sequencing

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics, reliant on the incorporation of barcodes and unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) into captured polyA+ mRNA, faces a significant challenge due to synthesis errors in oligonucleotide capture sequences. These inaccuracies, which are especially problematic in long-read sequencing, impair the precise identification of sequences and result in inaccuracies in UMI deduplication. To mitigate this issue, we have modified the oligonucleotide capture design, which integrates an interposed anchor between the barcode and UMI, and a 'V' base anchor adjacent to the polyA capture region. This configuration is devised to ensure compatibility with both short and long-read sequencing technologies, facilitating improved UMI recovery and enhanced feature detection, thereby improving the efficacy of droplet-based sequencing methods.

Quantitative reduced representation bisulfite sequencing with unique molecular identifiers of single cell

Project description:Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) has been proven a powerful method in DNA methylome profiling. Since the initial development of this method, the RRBS protocol has been modified in order to optimize it for genomic coverage, starting material, and library-construction throughput, which has resulted in new methods such as enhanced RRBS (ERRBS), double-enzyme RRBS (dRRBS), gel-free and multiplexed RRBS (mRRBS), and single-cell RRBS (scRRBS). However, each of these methods has failed to address PCR-derived duplication artifacts, which can bias the results of DNA methylation analyses. To overcome the aforementioned complication, we developed quantitative RRBS (Q-RRBS), a method in which unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) are used to eliminate PCR-induced duplication. By performing Q-RRBS on varying amounts of starting material, we determined that duplication-induced artifacts were more severe when small quantities of the starting material were used. However, through using the UMIs, we successfully eliminated these artifacts. Our results demonstrate that Q-RRBS is an optimal strategy for DNA methylation profiling of single cells or samples containing ultra-trace amounts of cells.

Single molecule counting and assessment of random molecular tagging errors with transposable giga-scale error-correcting barcodes.

Project description:RNA-Seq measures gene expression by counting sequence reads belonging to unique cDNA fragments. Molecular barcodes commonly in the form of random nucleotides were recently introduced to improve gene expression measures by detecting amplification duplicates, but are susceptible to errors generated during PCR and sequencing. This results in false positive counts, leading to inaccurate transcriptome quantification especially at low input and single-cell RNA amounts where the total number of molecules present is minuscule. To address this issue, we demonstrated the systematic identification of molecular species using transposable error-correcting barcodes that are exponentially expanded to tens of billions of unique labels.We experimentally showed random-mer molecular barcodes suffer from substantial and persistent errors that are difficult to resolve. To assess our method's performance, we applied it to the analysis of known reference RNA standards. By including an inline random-mer molecular barcode, we systematically characterized the presence of sequence errors in random-mer molecular barcodes. We observed that such errors are extensive and become more dominant at low input amounts.We described the first study to use transposable molecular barcodes and its use for studying random-mer molecular barcode errors. Extensive errors found in random-mer molecular barcodes may warrant the use of error correcting barcodes for transcriptome analysis as input amounts decrease.

Digital RNA Sequencing Minimizes Sequence-Dependent Bias and Amplification Noise with Optimized Single Molecule Barcodes

Project description:RNA-Seq is a powerful tool for transcriptome profiling, but is hampered by sequence-dependent bias and inaccuracy at low copy numbers intrinsic to exponential PCR amplification. We developed a simple strategy for mitigating these complications, allowing truly digital RNA-Seq. Following reverse transcription, a large set of barcode sequences is added in excess, and nearly every cDNA molecule is uniquely labeled by random attachment of barcode sequences to both ends. After PCR, we applied paired-end deep sequencing to read the two barcodes and cDNA sequences. Rather than counting the number of reads, RNA abundance is measured based on the number of unique barcode sequences observed for a given cDNA sequence. We optimized the barcodes to be unambiguously identifiable even in the presence of multiple sequencing errors. This method allows counting with single copy resolution despite sequence-dependent bias and PCR amplification noise, and is analogous to digital PCR but amendable to quantifying a whole transcriptome. We demonstrated transcriptome profiling of E. coli with more accurate and reproducible quantification than conventional RNA-Seq. We analyzed two replicates of the same bulk E. coli transcriptome sample. In each sample, we included internal standards to demonstrate that the digital RNA-Seq system may accurately count fragments correctly.

BFC: correcting Illumina sequencing errors.

Project description:BFC is a free, fast and easy-to-use sequencing error corrector designed for Illumina short reads. It uses a non-greedy algorithm but still maintains a speed comparable to implementations based on greedy methods. In evaluations on real data, BFC appears to correct more errors with fewer overcorrections in comparison to existing tools. It particularly does well in suppressing systematic sequencing errors, which helps to improve the base accuracy of de novo assemblies.https://github.com/lh3/bfchengli@broadinstitute.orgSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
